Torchwood Double

I listened to both parts of Double today.

It was dark in a grimy politics way, the classic Torchwood bit where sure aliens are bad, but at least they have a reason for inhuman behaviour.

I liked the plot, twists and all.

But I did not like the central character. Writer said something in the chatty bits about wanting to explore neurodivergence, and women never getting to play characters like Sherlock, or something like that. So I can see what they were doing but I find the type insufferable. The acting did a lot, there's layered feelings, its got plenty going on, I see how it's skillfully done, I just... do not like it.

So.

Lots of good plot and setting and characters, plenty of interesting thinky things, but.

Not for me.
